aufs support/patch for kernel 2.6.34.1

author_unknown · 08-23-2010, 08:22 AM

sorry on googling i found out that i need to upgrade my tar utility

Hi Linus72,
dude actually the requirement from the client changedchanged... earlier they said that they need a distro with all modules builtinside the kernel then they said its okk to hv a kernel with loadable modules.

Moreover LLS wants AUFS as module because it looks for aufs.ko

Anyways the new problem is that when i boot from the customerized distro livec it gives me error that "unable to find livecd.sgn"

Can you help about it...???? or do i need to upload my linuxrc script????

linus72 · 08-24-2010, 12:01 PM

hey man
see, the LLS I use has the script initrd_create modified so aufs/squashfs can be inbuilt instead of modules,etc
just please use the source & lls from the kernel kit for x86 arch and your all good
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/...kkit-arch.html

the kernel source is here
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/...2.6.34.tar.bz2
just do make menuconfig, compile kernel,etc

however, I am glad to tell you I am compiling new 2.6.35.3 kernel now and will make available asap

Hi Linus72,

thanks for all the help but please i would be gratefull if you provide me your lls in tar.bz2 or tar.gz format. In my organization I am unable to download the applications, softwares or update them.

sorry I been messing with the 2.6.35 kernel...
OK
here you go
this is the pkg I put together for you it contains
kernel source
lls-6.3.0
also has kernel,firmware,modules,for slack so delete those or whatever

Thanxx bro....

one thing that struck my mind was that there was no entry for cdrom in /proc/sys/dev/

also there was nothing like scd, scd0 or hdc in /dev... that means my cd drive is not being detected... I have an IDE drive... any idea how to tackle this issue???

author_unknown · 08-27-2010, 03:43 AM

Hi Linus.... thanks a lot.... dude i saw ur kernel's .config file... I am unable to guess that you have compiled the AUFS module directly into you kernel.. nt as a loadable module.... did it work out....???? coz lls searches for aufs.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.34.1/fs/aufs/aufs.ko

DID you modify your lls or wat.... please reply

author_unknown · 08-27-2010, 03:57 AM

one more doubt...

what does

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 directive in .config of kernel does.... wen i was compiling kernel on my own I have to set it to y so that the system boots up with the new kernel if this directive is set to n... it gives a kernel panic....

author_unknown · 08-27-2010, 07:49 AM

Hi Linus, I compiled the kernel using your .config file,

I got the error that says swapper not tainted... plz check the attachments for more details

linus72 · 08-28-2010, 11:14 AM

I think its your GCC or something
when I tried to build the 2.6.34 zen kernel on a debian install same issue...

I think the sysconfig-deprecated thing is also something to do with Centos using older GCC or glibc or ?

if you wish to try another kernel go get the 2.6.35.3/2.6.35.4 vanilla source here
http://www.kernel.org/

get fathom's aufs2/squashfs-lzma patches here
http://ponce.cc/slax-remix/

patch kernel, make menuconfig, put it as you want
then use the LLS from post above

author_unknown · 09-03-2010, 06:03 AM

Thanks!!! would surely try it.....

linus72 · 09-03-2010, 06:21 AM

hey
cant you make a live centos cd using the livecd-tools pkg in centos?
or you just want a new kernel for it?
yeah right here
https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/

author_unknown · 09-03-2010, 12:46 PM

livecd project creates a livecd based on the kickstart file.. but i need a customized distro....

btw i shifted to slax... and all i need is to disable the usb support... the link to my post is http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action...82#postid66582

please sse if you can help...

Incase if it is possible to you... can u make nFluxOS for me which doesnt automaticaaly mounts partiions on hard disk and doesnt has support for usb devices, fat, ntfs, ntfs-3g partitions.

I would really be obliged.

linus72 · 09-03-2010, 02:03 PM

well
that would maybe be hard to do...
in all of mine I use the cheatcode "noauto" so nothing is automounted at bootup combined with the "copy2ram" cheatcode

also, you should try fathoms slaxremix08 (slackware current)
as reg slax is 12.2
http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action...parentID=66046

I'm trying to finish up the four new iso's for nfluxos now
and wouldnt really know how to remove all that stuff and still have it boot?

cant you remaster a debian/ubuntu version or what distro besides centos?

I have downloaded fathoms patches and kernel 2.6.35.4.. nd have applied the patches but there are some folders also in the patch zip file that i downloaded... do i need to replace the files in kernel source with the one that are in the augs folder present in the patch zip....
